Chapter 17

Westwick Castle

Brian McArthur knew something wasn’t right. He sensed Ruby was hiding something.

He looked at the number of the last call on his cell phone. The number that appeared on the screen looked oddly familiar. He narrowed his eyes.

The door opened.

Brian put the phone down, his hands shaking just a little.

He glanced up and saw Susan at the door. She was dressed in a lovely, yellow day dress. She looked beautiful in it, and Brian had the sudden urge to see Ruby in the Fendi dress he bought for her.

“Brian, there you are,” Susan said, her voice soft and sweet. “I have been looking for you.”

“Have you?” he asked, still thinking about Ruby.

“I was thinking,” Susan said as she walked toward him, “I was thinking that maybe we could go riding today.”

“I’d rather not. Why don’t you ask Jane to go with you?”

“If you’re not coming, why should I bother?” She leaned toward him across the large study desk.

“Look, Sue, I have a few things to organize. I’ll see you at dinner. How about that?” he said, picking up pieces of paper on the desk and staking them properly.

Susan sighed in disappointment. “Sure,” she replied as she walked back to the door. “Your work, I suppose?”

“Yeah,” Brian replied. As Susan was about to close the door, he said, “Susan?”

She turned and smiled sweetly at him, thinking that he changed his mind. “Yes?” she replied eagerly.

“I thought we should visit your brother.”

Her smile vanished immediately. “Why?” she asked with a hint of panic in her voice.

“Why don’t we all go to Hasting Manor tomorrow? Tell Jane, won’t you? We’ll stay there for a few days.”

“But Alec might not be there.”

“It doesn’t matter. And if he is there, we could surprise him,” Brian said, smiling at her.

Susan nibbled her lip.

“Sue? Are you all right?” he asked, eyeing her with keen interest.

“Er, yes,” she responded.

He nodded and Susan closed the door.
